Critics slam Pam Bondi’s demand for Minnesota voter rolls amid ICE surge

Outrage mounts after US attorney general’s request as state reels from the weekend killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis

There was widespread outrage after the attorney general, Pam Bondi, pushed for access to Minnesota’s voter rolls as the state reeled from the killing of Alex Pretti over the weekend.

Bondi included the demand for voter rolls in a letter she sent to the Minnesota governor, Tim Walz, on Saturday urging him to “change course” in the state. In addition to turning over the voter rolls, Bondi also said the state should turn over data on those receiving public assistance and repeal sanctuary city policies in the state.
